In God We Trust. I don't believe it would sound any better if it were true.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Never regret anything that made you smile.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret ANYTHING That makes you smile.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.

The heart together with the mind is the most powerful creative state to bring your wishes and ideas into reality.

Calm is the best revenge

All I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey.

I have many who keep me going, I am very fortunate in this sense. There is nothing like a child who knows more about your books than you do!

I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.

My goals are so high.

The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.

I really like telling stories. When I was a kid, I wanted to write songs. In quite a fundamental, gratifying, childish way, I enjoy the doing of telling a story.

I am suspicious of both facility and speed.

I am not a master-class director. I am not a teacher. I am a coach. I dont have a methodology. Each actor is different. And on the film set, you have to be next to them all.
